uglyduck's 64 falcon wagon

I have finally gotten a chance to get going on the 64 falcon wagon i got wayyy back! i got as far as replacing the floors,rebuilding the tailgate area,the air ducts that are under the cowl,rebuilding the windshield area and installing the mustang II IFS.the areas i repaired were extremely bad and probably i should have looked for another wagon,And a wagon that would be worth the effort and expense.But i really liked this wagon,And not many people would bother with a plain-jane Falcon 4dr wagon.At any rate it has been sitting,negelected but this winter will be spent getting it ready to use as my daily driver.Yeah a daily driver,There has been/will be so many things replaed/repaired that any originality it had wwill be gone.Im trying to post pics but im having to make the pics smaller..uughh another project for me to figure out

 

Welcome aboard! Looking forward to seeing some pics and hearing about your progress.

 

and good luck on your project. Sometimes a plain jane vehicle can be fun. I suppose my 55 handyman wagon would be listed as a plain jane when it was newer. For us that's been the fun part. Don't have to worry about some rare show car.

 

Cat, I have news for you. These days, a plain Jane IS the rare version of a car, especially if it is kept stock!

 

Just imagine how rare a plain jane car is. That should make them worth twice what a big block fancy model seen at all car events is.
I thought that with my 1 of 340 UltraVan motorhomes too. Only Corvair owners and other fools want them cheap.

 

i will keep it plain as i can,But i really felt it was a good idea to install the mustand II IFS so i could have better steering,better brakes et..i did the same to my 65 falcon converible and i think it was the best thing i could have done.I dont really like the original ford front suspension.I wont be 'tubbing' it or getting crazy with the paint and modifications.My only other issue i have is the drivetrain.I have a 289/C4 and a 302/C4..both run but are tired.But i do have a low mileage 428/C6 from a thunderbird..I do have to consider the costs of buying a rebuilt smallblock..or using the 428 which i have virtually no cash i payed for it.I dont have alot of money to work with

 

Most of us here are independantly wealthy so have no idea what you are talking about!

 

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA...okay.

 

What's the problem Dewey? :banana: I'm already started on my third million.

 

Sweet! Write me a check and I'll get all the stuff I need to do my interior right.

 

Go ahead and order the parts. Money is no object. Check's in the mail!
